14 Things You’d Better Avoid Buying at Thrift Stores, Even If You Really Want To

This article is obviously written by someone who has never been poor.

Who ever wrote this has no idea of the value of vintage and antique items. Shoes can be disinfected. If these items were so dangerous, thrift stores wouldn't sell them. This article was written with little to no research or factual reference.

So basically you can't buy anything. *eye roll to hell*

U can wash rugs stuffed animals and disinfect shoes as well

So pretty much everything in a thrift store I guess.

I don't know if it's Bucks County, or the state of PA clothing, pillows, etc must be sanitized
Had no problems, health etc buying shoes/sneakers as the majority of them I buy are new or use sanitizing wipes for the inside.....
I'll never stop shopping at thrift stores as the majority of my home is filled with items from the thrift store.

What a truely crappy article. My home is pretty much all from the op shop (we call them that here in Australia) I've lived like this for years, since I moved out of my family home.
Everything can be cleaned and re-used, and obviously you'd check condition of items before purchasing.... A good Thrift shop will not sell old crappy garments.
What a disapointing article at a time we all should be re-using and recycling :(

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

If you believe this article you wouldn't go out if the house for fear that everything will harm you. Get a grip!!!!

The writer needs to check their paranoia.

Must be you shouldn't accept any family heirlooms neither...
I've never brought anything weird home and my house is full of thrift store and garage sale finds.
